I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Taghreed. Taghreed is a 44 year old mother of Menna, 13. Menna has cerebral palsy and needs a surgery to lengthen the tendon in her leg so she can hopefully be able to walk. She hasn’t been able to get that and is now struggling to survive.

we, in fact, would not choose to be isolated. how hard is it to think of disabled people as actual human beings???
The idea that disabled and immunocompromised and chronically ill people have chosen this isolation and not had it fucking forced on us by a hateful and cruel society is absolutely fucking violent.

“The cycle is vicious: Disability often leads to homelessness, and homelessness can lead to disability.”
Disability & homelessness … two minority groups you can join at ANY time and yet the vast majority of people see them as personal failings that could “never happen to them”.

new from me: on how disability complicates the reality of homelessness, and why a city might be OK with confiscating or discarding unhoused people's wheelchairs www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/sole...
With so many physically disabled people living on S.F. streets, what happens to wheelchairs during sweeps?
Take a trip to downtown SF and it’s impossible not to notice the sheer number of seemingly homeless people navigating the streets via wheelchair or walker.

Mia Mingus with an excellent thread on how to get through this moment without destroying ourselves and our relationships/bodies
There are a lot of important skills sets we will need in the coming months/years, but one of the most important will be generative conflict. As the conditions get worse, we will see more conflict and being able to navigate it well, without loosing each other, will be invaluable.

most of the posts Im seeing are asking you, quite politely, to consider that protesting, organizing in person requires certain kinds of physical abilities that not everyone has. I realize asking people to consider disability ever is always an infringement on your rights, but even so...
